[QUOTE="smootrk, post: 3110080, member: 28583"] I will inquire about the Assassin class. On first look, it just appears to be a rogue with the assasin abilities dropped on top, albeit with the different skill system you are using I am unsure of exactly how the skill points match. Why would anyone want to play a regular rogue when a Death Attacking, Spell-using alternative is sitting right there? So my point is, as I see it, new base classes are for exploring options that are not well represented by the current base classes. This class, essentially being a variant on the rogue class (as is the current PRC version of Assassin), might be better served as a set of Substituion levels for rogues (or even variants for fighter/ranger/etc.), rather than as you have it here. I would also drop spell-use. Nothing in my concept of Assassin epitomizes spell-use. A would-be Mage/Assassin would be a multi-class configuration in my option, as would a Cat-Burgler/Mage. Anyway, just my own opinions and observations. I would obviously do things a little differently for this concept. Good luck with your endeavors. [/QUOTE]
